Me. I run it with Kaspersky Plus and a VPN. Edge is getting too bloated with their self promotions and Bing so I switch back and forth.
Well, I have to admit it's less bloated. I'm trying it now. No VPN, just disable all possible settings and use Emsisoft Browser Security. Chrome doesn't make obvious how to add a custom search engine, to the point of being deceptive. We'll see how it goes.

Moving the discussion here since some users may not like Chrome discussion on the Edge thread:
Have you tried this group policy/registry trick?
And for blocking some Google related domains on Chrome, a DNS based solution would be your best bet.

And thanks again.

Haven't tried the registry hack but I have "Clear site data on exit" enabled and it appears to me that Chrome doesn't include history in that. Each time I restart it there are X number items in history available to clear via Shift+Ctrl+Delete. Am I wrong?

Yeah it doesn't do that. I have seen users asking for this feature. Maybe it will arrive one day. The registry trick might work, worth trying.
